n burglary at EN-MayOr SWinburne's
Home In Newport Leads tn Surprise.
New York World
NEWPORT, r. l. June 27-William c.
SwiEburne. a young man, is locked up
here on suspicion of having robbed his
fathers house. The old gentleman, Will
liam j. Swinburne. is one of the leading
merchants of tine place, and for several
years was mayor and has been in the
Legislature. He occupies a handsome
residence at the corner of Bull street and
Broadway With him lives his sister,
Mrs. Humphreys, also very wealthy.
She is now visiting friends elsewhere.
This morning upon the servants en-
tering the dining room they discovered
every piece of silver which usually
adorned the sideboard was gone. Mr..
and Mrs. Swinburne We're instantly
aroused, and upon an examination be
ing made they discovered that Mrs
Humphreys rooms had also been ran
sacked and her bureau drawers, boxes,
chests and jewel cases opened and rob
bed. Mr.. Swinburne says he cannot tell
how much has been taken until his sister
returns. but he knows her loss will he
heavy. MIR. Swinburne at once cOmmu-
nicated with the police and demanded
that an immediate inquiry made.
His son, who is an adopted child, but
upon whom Mr.. Swinburne has lavished
all the luxuries, has been known to the
police as a wild young fellow. He has
been in all kinds of trouble, but his
father has borne with him patiently,
hoping to bring him back to the right
path. The police know him, however,
better than the father does. For some
time he has not been living at home, be-
ing ostensibly engaged in the transporta-
ton OF fish by water. Last night, it is
learned, he visited his home, presuma-
bly, to get clothing for a companion
named John A. COngden. whose brother
was once under arrest for murder.
When the police learned this and dis
covered there had been no break" of
the house from the outside they were
satisfied as to who had done it. They
went to work upon the case promptly and
about 4 O'Clock this afternoon arrested
young Swinburne, COngden and John A.
Allen, the latter a very well known
young man of respectable parentage.
The police are keeping very shady on
the subject, but have apparently finished
their labors. One of them said:
1T Is enough to say that we don't
want to look for any one else"
The shock To Mr.. Swinburne is terrible
and his wife is Frustrated with grief.
Mr.. Swinbeurn is a man of the very high
est character and never tires of well-do-
ing.

The Deadly MIX Can.
nIence ID "a PaIntI.a Nems.


PALATKA, FLA. Jnne -.
While the Board of Health is doing so
much for the good of Palatka, there is
one thing that should not be overlooked,
that DESTROYS more children than the
yellow fever has, or ever will do i'm our
country, and that is the poisoned milk.
Ii is a well established fact, that milk
from healthy cows put into cans with
all tine animal heat on it,.and then car
ried in hot weather Ia the Consumers,
generates a poison that produces symp-
toms of cholera morbus. or i'm the case
ulence, as To often terminate fatally in
"A few hours.
The well-known case of wholesale
poisoning at Long Branch last summer,
that was investigated and reported by
Drs. Newton and Wallace, was due to
the generation of lyrotoxicon i'm the
milk, caused by its not having been
properly cooled when first taken from
the cow.
Prof. Vaughan in a paper read before
the Michigan State Medical Society i'm
January 1887, lays down some excellent
rules for the government of those who
furnish milk for our towns and cities.
part of which transcribe:
First-Cows must not be fed upon
swill or other fermented food.
Second-The milk must he at once
thoroughly cooled. This is best
done by placing the milk can
in "A tank Of ice water. the water being
of the same depth as the milk IN the can.
The can should remain uncovered dur
ing the cooling and the milk should he
gently stirred.
The temperature should lie reduced to
go degrees +. within an hour.
Third-In summer. when ready for de-
livery, the top should be placed ON the
can and cloth wet in cold water should
he spread over the can. or refrigerator
cans may be used.
No buyer should receive milk that has
higher temperature than 81 r.
Milk should not be allowed To stand
uncovered, even for "A short time, i'm
sleeping or living rooms. Where milk is
kept in a refrigerator the drain from it
should not lead to a cesspool or kitchen
Train as this is highly dangerous.
The other rules are in regard to strict
cleanliness of all utensils used in holding
or conveying the milk.
If these rules we're faithfully carried
out it would result in saving hundreds
of lives every year. And if they are inn
portant i'm Michigan and New York they
are much more important in Florida.

Makes N Wholesale Jail Delivery.
ST. PAUL, June 2S.-News has been re-
ceived from Blackfork, Idaho. of a Jail
delivery there last night. Henry Nicker-
son, in Jail for horse stealing, was fur
nished with a revolver by his wife, who
has been visiting him daily. With the
revolver Nickerson held up the guard
who had accompanied his wife to the
cell. The pair disarmed the guard and
locked him in the cell. They then
liberated Aleck Woods, the negro wife
murderer, and one Williams, also con-
victed of murder, both of whom We're
sentenced to- hang July l2, and another
horse thief, and locking up the rest of
the watchmen the entire party escaped
to the outside, where horses were await
ing them.
Woods, weighing 225 pounds, would
not trust to this course and took to- the
brush ON foot the others fled on horse
hack. The Sheriff, returning an hour
later, organized posse and soon re-
captured Woods, but was still in pursuit
of the others at last accounts. AS the
criminals are armed a desperate fight is
likely.

Is IT SYMPATHY
SharP's PLY sieisns Say He Cannot Live
More than two Weeks.

NV YORK, June est is believed
that Jake Sharp is dying. His physicians
and lawyers say his condition is critical.
His defense ended in fiasco at 2:;;O o'cloc K
this afternoon. Every one was surprised
at the sudden turn i'm affairs.
At the beginning of the trial it was
Sharps expressed determination to take
the stand in his own defense. He ex-
planned to his counsel how he would
answer and explain all the seeming de-
ficiences in his examination before the
Senate Committee. lie went SO far as to
avow that he would rather be convicted
than permit the statements of witnesses
for the prosecution go uncontradicted by
him.
Everything was arranged that Sharp
should testify. From the beginning of
the trial until the night Judge Barrett or
dered his committal to Ludlow street
Jail, Sharp spent several hours each day
after the adjournment of the court in
perfecting statement which he would
make to the jury.
From the time that he was confined in
the Jail he has failed, and yesterday
afternoon, when his counsel told him tn
prepare to take the stand they found, to
their horror. that Sharp was physical
wreck, and that even mentally he was
nSein a fit condition to be a witness. 1t
is the opinion of Sharp's physicians that
he cannot live longer than ten days or
two weeks. The slightest excitement
will cause death, owing to the condition
of his heart. In the next few days his
business affairs will be wound up. with a
view to the end.
A scheme is under consideration by
those Interested i'm Sharp's case which.
if carried out successfully, will take the
case out of the jurisdiction of the jury
tomorrow before the lawyers have a
chance to display their powers of oratory
in summing up. 1t has been suggested
that certificates from such eminent ply
sicians as Prof. LOOMS and his associates
that Sharp would i'm all probability drop
dead in the court room when the jury
brought in their verdict if the case should
be given them. no matter whether the
verdict he guilty ar not guilty, would
result in Judge Barrett stopping
the trial just where it is.
I'm any event his advocates are
sincerely of the opinion, after listening
To the advice of the doctors, that Sharp
will never live to goto Sing Sing. Sheriff

Sharp would die in Ludlow Street Jail
